Tonne after
tonne of rushing, spraying, foaming water plunges into the thunderous
cataract of the Niagara River below. One of the most famous and
spectacular wonders in the world has left countless visitors awestruck.
Whether you see the Falls during it peak flow in the summer, under a
mantle of ice in the winter, against a blue sky during the day or bathed
in coloured floodlights at nights, Niagara Falls is always an
unforgettable sight.
Less than a
two-hour drive from Toronto, Niagara Falls is one of the great wonders of
the world. The town itself is a bustling tourist destination, filled with
an assortment of man-made attractions. It also draws honeymooners in the
thousands; legend has it that Napoleon's brother came by stagecoach from
New Orleans to the Falls for his honeymoon, and so started the trend.
A drive
along the Niagara Parkway is one of the most picturesque drives in North
America. Parks, orchards and vineyards line the winding road all the way
to the historic town of Niagara-on-the-Lake. Once the capital of Ontario
(from 1791 to 1796), this is one of the best-preserved (and prettiest)
19th century towns in North America. With quaint boutiques, restaurants
and several pleasant inns and "bed and breakfast", the town is
worth visiting for its charm alone.
